Not a raspi, but I had similar issues on my opensuse HTPC which turned it to be related to issues with (or missing) media codecs in Firefox.

After (re)installing all of them, it worked like a charm.

It’s been years since I had to deal with MATLAB licenses, since basically everything in scientific computing/data science uses Python these days!

Not nearly as much of either. I went to both US and German universities and the difference was huge.

In German university there was really only loosely-organized recreational sports. You know… for normal students to enjoy. Professional athletes start their careers at professional clubs (which are much more prevalent than in the US due to how leagues are organized) rather than at universities.

In Germany there was also much less interacting with the administration. You basically only interacted with them when you started your degree and then once you could prove you were done. It’s much more ‘on you’ to figure things out and organize things compared to the US.

I’ve literally never had this work for me, sadly

And even then, it just meant that whatever solution they thought up worked first try.

With experience you get better at finding good, working solutions quicker, but there will always be times when things take a bit of iteration.

Similarly to what happened with UKIP, the Tories will just take Reforms policies, bring in new further-right leadership and support will come back.

Especially after Labour (who just got elected on a fairly bland centrist manifesto) won’t manage to magically fix things in 2-3 years. Conservative media will blame Labour for all the issues (even though most are the fault of the Tories) and Conservative voters will rally around the banner of “Labour out!”.

Or Reform just eats the Tories, which seems a but less likely to me, but either way the split won’t last.
